The parish was named after Saint Pancras, a 14-year-old boy who had converted to Christianity and would not renounce his faith. As a result, he was beheaded by Diocletian in Rome in 304AD. He is the patron saint of children. St Pancras is a Greek name meaning ‘the one that holds everything’.
Apparently St Pancras is the patron saint of indoctrinating children to become martyrs of their religion.
I’m sure a pancreas is useful but I’d never have thought it’d be canonised.

Why no canonisation of internal organs and bodily functions? Holy shit I’d love to have something like that.
